Supper Club

There are so many things that the Lord has blessed us with and one of the largest things are an amazing group of friends. Scott has lived in Birmingham his whole life, with the exception of living in Auburn. But me, I wanted to move to Birmingham after college because of all the wonderful relationships that I had made at Auburn, so many of them moved back home to Birmingham. It is truly amazing because a large majority of our best friends live within a fifteen minute drive. And because of this, we have started a Supper Club (aka First Friday Friends and Fellowship). We get together the First Friday of every month and have dinner at one of the couples houses. This past month we made the trip to Tuscaloosa to go to Wellon and Stephen's house. With everyone's busy schedules, it is so great to come together and have time to catch up and laugh a lot! Here are some pictures of the fun!

I don't think I tell my sweet Birmingham friends how much they mean to me the way I should. But knowing that they are there whenever I need them, that our kids will grow up together, and that they except me just the way I am (craziness and all) truly is such an amazing blessing. Having a group of people that hold the same values as we do and love to have a fabulous time is hard to come by. I love knowing that we will be spending many many years to come together. Supper Club forever!!

So Here We Go..

So I have learned about myself that I am a blog stalker (even though I try to not admit it). I love to read other people's blogs to find out what is going on in there lives, to look at pictures and to hear advice. And I am sure that just like me, at the beginning of their blogging journey they had the same thought as I have had for many months now. What can I possibly write about that anyone would want to read? But after asking myself that question I continue to read and love to look at others lives and what they have to say.
So here I am starting the first ever Howell Family blog. I hope that this can be a place where our friends and family can come to check in with us, and can see the "not so normal" happenings of Scott and I. If you know us, you know that there is always a funny story on the horizon, or at least a funny story to tell about Scott!
Here is a little about us: Scott and I met at Auburn University and started dating our senior year of college. We were married on September 30, 2006, and we live in Vestavia Hills, AL. My family is from Franklin, TN (right outside of Nashville) and I have one sister named Sallie who is four years younger than I am. Scott was born and raised with his two sisters Julie and Erin in Vestavia. So we have one set of parents right around the corner, which makes things quite fun.
We both have great jobs, me incharge of the the finances and playing with kids in the Weekday Children's Ministry at Canterbury United Methdost Church and Scott works as a financial planner at Wachovia Securities with his dad.
We have wonderful friends that we are so thankful for that I am sure that you will learn much more about.
I guess that somewhat sums up our little life.
Hope you enjoy!
